Chapter 5 Find A Job And A Wife

and leave. If Killian finds out that you’re back, he will certainly come for you.” “Mom, I’m not going to leave. I don’t care if Killian comes here. It’s time for us to settle some scores anyway!” Needless to say, Quiana did not want her son, who had finally returned home, to leave again. Wiping her tears, she said, “Let’s forget about the compensation for the relocation. Maybe Killian will forgive you for injuring him back then if we do that.” Both Desmond and Rhiannon sighed and nodded in agreement. Finnegan knew that it wouldn’t be easy to convince his parents, as they were honest people who were conventional in their thinking. He could only comfort them by saying, “Mom, Dad, everything will be fine. Don’t worry.” With much persuasion, Desmond finally agreed to let Finnegan treat his leg after dinner, albeit somewhat reluctantly. Before starting the procedure, Finnegan performed acupuncture anesthesia on his father, rendering him immune to pain. Then, he used a technique written in Primordial Pharmacopoeia to reconnect the broken bones in the old man’s b*dy. After the bones were joined together again, the next step was to treat his damaged meridians. With the herbs delivered by Patrick, it would take at most a month for Desmond to completely regain his mobility. Quiana and Rhiannon, who were watching from the side, noticed a red glow emitting from Finnegan’s hand during the treatment process. Meanwhile, the parts of Desmond’s skin where Finnegan had touched had reddened. The area on his leg that was previously sunken was also bulging. Hope arose in the hearts of the two women when they saw that. Finnegan finally ended the procedure two hours later, drenched in sweat. He had successfully reconnected a portion of Desmond’s broken bones. While applying a herbal liquid medicine to Desmond’s b*dy, Finnegan said, “Dad, I will be able to fix all your broken bones after two more treatment sessions. When I get my hands on the other herbs, I will concoct a balm that aids in the growth of bone tissues. If you apply that balm, it will take you only ten days to stand up again. I’m confident that you won’t need more than a month to make a complete recovery.” Clearly feeling the difference in his b*dy, Desmond perked up as he replied, “Finny, did you really learn your skills from a medical expert? Can you really help me stand up again?” He had been pretending not to be bothered by his disability in front of his family, as he did not want to burden them. However, deep down, he had been desiring to stand up again. With a smile, Finnegan replied, “Dad, when have I ever lied to you?” “Okay, I will be looking forward to that day. If you manage to find a job and a wife as well, our family will be complete.” “Dad, Finn can easily open a clinic with his superior medical skills. As for getting a wife, I can help with that,” Rhiannon said playfully. Finnegan had indeed thought about opening a clinic upon his return. However, he had absolutely no intention of getting married yet. Without giving her son a chance to speak, Quiana asked in delight, “Rhia, who do you have in mind?” “She’s a senior of mine. I have mentioned Finn to her a couple of times, and she has expressed her interest in him. She even asked me to introduce him to her when he comes back. If Finn has no objections, I can arrange for them to meet this Saturday!” “I’m sure he won’t object to it,” Quiana replied happily at once. However, at the same time, she could not help but feel worried. “But your brother didn’t even attend college. He doesn’t have much money either. Do you think she’ll like him?” Finnegan was speechless. Aren’t they gonna ask me what I think about this? Besides, did I say I don’t have money? The truth was, he had already accumulated more than a billion in his savings account by treating patients over the past few years. “Get over here right now, Finnegan!” Just as Finnegan was about to raise his objections, Python, whose mouth was still swollen and had his head wrapped in a bandage, charged into the house with more than a dozen other men. Another thirty to forty of his subordinates were standing outside the house, armed with machetes and clubs. Quiana said in a panic, “Quick! Find somewhere and hide. They’re here for you!” “Calm down. I’ve got this.” After rea*suring his mother, Finnegan headed out. Python glared at Finnegan with hatred in his eyes and said, “You little shit, I will consider letting you off if you transfer the ownership of your house to me unconditionally and let me sleep with your sister for a few days.” Murderous intent arose within Finnegan. How dare he come back here and have designs on Rhia! He glanced back at his parents and sister, who were waiting inside the house, and saw how anxious they looked. Not wanting to show them the ruthless side of him, he said to Python, “You’re disturbing my family. Let’s talk outside!” Python had brought along almost sixty men with him and was feeling extremely confident. “Sure. This courtyard is too small for us to fight anyway, but don’t you dare play any tricks. Get out here at once!” “Finny!” Desmond and Quiana exclaimed in concern when they saw that Finnegan was about to head outside with the thugs. “Don’t worry. I’ll be back very soon. Rhia, take care of Mom and Dad.” The moment Finnegan stepped out of the house, his phone rang. “Hello, is this Mr. Larkin? I’m Alisha Wahlstrom, Theoden Wahlstrom’s granddaughter. I’m already in Jadeborough. Are you free to meet now?” A woman’s sensual voice sounded on the other end of the line. The corners of Finnegan’s mouth curled into a smirk as he replied, “I’m afraid not. Some guys from the underground circles are finding trouble with me now.” “What?” The woman’s voice turned cold at once. “Where are you now? I’ll head over.” “Ocean District, Wharf Street.” “I’ll be there in ten minutes!” Finnegan nodded. “You’d better
